摘要：
The use of simple random sampling together with ratio estimation is of fundamental importance in survey sampling practice. From a theoretical point of view the ratio estimator has been justified by Bayesian methods (Ericson, 1969) and by superpopulation methods (Royall, 1970). But these methods do not yield a rigorous justification of simple random sampling at the same time. We use the minimax principle in an asymptotic version to justify both simple random sampling and ratio estimation.
